  2.2 Hideout Cafe
 
+   Hideout Cafe have not replied to our most recent proposal.  We are
+   going forward on the assumption that they are no longer interested.
+   Their main interest was always in the full refit/more room/plumbing
+   etc. version.
 
+   We have considered the possibility of looking for someone else to
+   do just-a-pop-up, but decided enough work is pending, and we may
+   get the information we wanted from a trial run if CVenues try
+   something.
+
+   Hartley Kemp has been informed.  We won't prejudge the possibility
+   of him doing something along similar lines until we've talked with
+   him on Monday.
 
  2.3 Lighting
      See attachment 1
+
+     Majk Stokes managed gathering quotes.  MG and MS judged the Gunn
+     and Alexanders quote to be appropriate considered.  Additional
+     complexity with Mark Kisby's involvement to manage the physical
+     interaction of their hanging and the lighting.  There is also the
+     question of the quality of microphone system and whether we
+     should do something about this.
+
+     MG will call Mark K to come and explore the lighting/microphone
+     interaction and suggest and quote for a solution, possibly on 22
+     April if he can make.
+
+     We should consider also inviting Mark Kisby to attend at some
+     event where we suspect the problems would manifest and observe.
+
+     We agree to ask Trustee's approval for asking Keith Gunn to go
+     ahead per their quote.
+
  2.4 Carpets 
      See attachment 2
+
+     Two quotes for Carpet or Carpet Tile, without floor preparation.
+
+     At least 10-year wear.
+
+     Carpet tile has the advantage of allowing square-by-square
+     replacement in case of damage or stain.
+
+     'Stain-free' has strong smell at first, possible health and
+     environmental issues.
+
+     MG to try to get a look at an existing installation of tile with
+     some years of use wrt possible lifting at the edges under wear.
+
+     ALthough vinyl is cheaper as such, the preparatino is much more
+     substantial, so roughly double the cost for the Foyer (6k
+     vs. 3k).
+
+     We agree to return to this once we get the information we need to
+     choose, both wrt tile vs. carpet and with respect to the Foyer.

  2.5 Period products
      See attachment 3
- 2.6 Branding
-  2.6.1 Signage
-  2.6.2 Other
+
+     Quotes from three outfits, MG recommends Hey Girls, who also have
+     the contract for the City of Edinburgh.  RF says they are used in
+     AU.
+
+     We agreed that MG should go ahead and contract with Hey Girls for
+     installations in all toilets.
